Happy Dance

Here he is, I've done it. I've finished "Tempest". He was a pleasure to stitch in the end. I did have my doubts to start with, what with all the blending and half stitches, but I think he was worth it.

I did make a start on the HAED design. I managed to put in about 600 stitches but it is so small, and the colours are so simillar that I really don't think it would show in a photo, it would just look like a black blob. I've loved what I've done of it, but it does take real concentration and plenty of day light. I've got a light that I stitch by but it's just not good enough for the job, I may have to invest in a daylight bulb. Anyway, I'll have another go at it this Friday and see if I can't get a picture then.

About Me

I'm 24601! No, not really, I'm 45 and a mother of two teenage girls. I love crossstitch and playing the Sims so my spare time gets divided between the two. I'm also trying to get fit (yet again). Sometimes I stitch a lot, other times progress is very slow. I tend to stitch large designs which means finishes are far and few between, but for me the fun is in the stitching rather than the finishing. Please join me for the ride.
